better homes and gardens surveys their facebook fans

Are you unsure how to reflect your personal taste in your home?  Not sure where to turn to find decorating inspiration?

Better Homes and Garden recently asked their Facebook fans this question.

Here are their responses:

47%     Nature
27%     Magazines, Web, catalogs
13%     Family and Friends
7%       Travel
6%       Shop

These are five excellent sources for decorating ideas.  And if you're looking for a luscious color scheme you can't go wrong with choosing colors you find together in nature.  Wow!

Several of their Facebook fans’ explain their choices:

“I think inspiration can come from anywhere.  I once designed a whole room around a couple of beautiful throw pillows I found at a specialty store.”

“I like to bring the outdoor colors and textures indoors, be it from a wooded area near a creek or from the white beaches with shells and tropical plants.”

“Travel always inspires me. I like to buy local art from the places I visit.  I like to use those pieces to guide my decorating.”

“I find a lot of inspiration from visiting friends and looking around their homes.  It’s so fun to see how each person has her own unique style and how they decorate in ways I never would have thought of.”
